Princeton Digital Group JH2 Data Center Campus

Status: Active Development / Master-Planned Greenfield Campus   |   Location: within Eco Business Park at Mukim Senai, Johor 81400 Kulai Malaysia


Project Overview

Princeton Digital Group (PDG) JH2 Data Center Campus is a flagship 300 MW greenfield hyperscale data center development strategically located within Eco Business Park, Senai, Johor, approximately 16 kilometers from PDG's JH1 campus in Sedenak Tech Park and 37 kilometers from Johor Bahru City Centre. The campus serves as a cornerstone of Princeton Digital Group's "SG+" strategy, which integrates digital infrastructure across Singapore, Johor, and Batam to provide scalable, low-latency capacity for hyperscale cloud providers, artificial intelligence platforms, financial institutions, and multinational enterprises seeking regional expansion. Purpose-built to support next-generation AI model training, machine learning, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale cloud computing environments, JH2 is designed with exceptional scalability, allowing customers to deploy high-density GPU clusters and mission-critical workloads within a resilient, future-ready infrastructure platform. The campus is powered by dual 275 kV high-voltage utility grid connections, delivering reliable large-scale electrical capacity while supporting phased expansion to meet long-term customer demand. Engineered for AI-ready operations, the facility incorporates liquid cooling readiness, high-density rack configurations, advanced thermal management systems, and energy-efficient mechanical and electrical infrastructure designed to achieve low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) targets. Additional features include redundant power distribution, backup generation, intelligent building management systems, comprehensive fire detection and suppression technologies, and multi-layer physical security with continuous monitoring to ensure maximum operational resilience. As a carrier-neutral campus, JH2 provides diverse cross-border fiber connectivity linking Malaysia with Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region, enabling low-latency interconnection with major cloud platforms, telecommunications providers, and internet exchanges. By combining hyperscale capacity, AI-optimized infrastructure, resilient power systems, sustainable engineering, and strategic regional connectivity, the PDG JH2 Data Center Campus strengthens Johor's position as one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing hyperscale data center markets and a critical hub for digital transformation across the region.
